Contrary to popular belief on here I think big clubs do take the FA Cup seriously. Silverware is silverware and can keep a big club manager in a job if they fail with the league, for example. Why wouldn't Chelsea or City make a lot of changes when playing lower league opposition? Their fringe players are generally all mid level premier league footballers at least.

Yes there were lots of upsets yesterday but for instance Mourinho said after the game that Chelsea were embarrassing and he was ashamed. So obviously he wasn't happy.

The last 20 FA cup winners have all been Arsenal, Chelsea, United, City or Liverpool with the exception of Wigan and Portsmouth. So you can hardly say the big clubs don't bother with it.
